Whittaker jumped back covering a wide distance away from the contestant killers. The sand scattered left and right as from within came out huge creatures that were a mix between human and scorpion, and at the same time, the sand dunes on each side of the young boy quaked and then scattered revealing dozens of the Scorpion-kin.
Standing in the middle of them all was Whittaker. He had entered their trap!
It was a common trap that the race of Scorpion-Kin used to hunt down their prey. They would burrow their entire bodies within the sand just like a scorpion and wait for someone to fall into the center of their trap before revealing themselves and killing the prey.
